Jason Schreier suggested Sony is rethinking its PC strategy for single-player PlayStation exclusives

This came after Sony expanded its PC footprint in 2025, when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered arrived on Steam within roughly a year of their PS5 debuts and reinforced PlayStation’s push beyond console hardware. That’s exactly why talk of shutting that door lands very differently.

Sony signals retreat from single-player PC ports

On his Triple Click podcast, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said Sony appeared comfortable bringing live-service titles to PC but was “backing away” from putting traditional single-player exclusives on the platform. He questioned how commercially successful those staggered PC releases were and suggested the company could tighten its focus around console again.

He emphasized this was “not speculation.” Schreier said: “Sometimes topics come up on the show before I’m quite ready to publish a story about them. More to come soon,” which suggests further reporting is in progress.

Digital Foundry’s John Linneman voiced a similar view. In the company podcast, he said he had an “inkling” Sony was pulling away from PC and argued that a serious PC commitment would require day-and-date launches for major single-player releases, something Sony has consistently resisted.

The September 15 PS5 launch of Marvel’s Wolverine without a confirmed PC version fits that pattern. Even if a port arrives later, the delay would reinforce Sony’s hardware-first stance.
